Even if you create a good AI-generated illustration, what do you do with it next? Is it intended for a book cover that includes a title and subtitle? Or will it be just one element in a banner or ad? One area where AI struggles is in arranging elements skillfully and expertly to create a great layout. Essentially, AI tends to just barf up uninspired layouts that lack finesse and purpose, much like throwing mud on a wall. In contrast, CartoonBob excels at crafting effective layouts for all graphic design projects, ensuring that the intended message is clearly conveyed.

AI Robot Only Barfs Layouts...

AI tools produce layouts that lack creativity and intention, resembling random splashes of paint on a wall rather than a thoughtful composition.

In stark contrast, CartoonBob has mastered the art of creating exceptional layouts for all graphic design projects.

His years of experience in human graphic design have given him a deep understanding of visual communication. CartoonBob skillfully crafts each design to convey the intended message effectively, ensuring that every element works harmoniously to engage the audience and enhance the overall impact.

EXAMPLE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF AI: "I am a company commander of a medical company in an armored brigade combat team. Our logo is a cobra, with a medical cross. The current one is a little too cartoony for me so I'd like to udpate it. I have tried to use chatGPT but it's never quite right."

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF AI: "Looking for a REAL graphic designer. We have been burned by many "designers" who send us AI slop. You need to be able to draw the design from scratch. NOT just put it into some AI system and send it to me. we are working in retail stores and need our products shelf ready. We are seeking a talented graphic designer to create eye-catching and professional labels for our products. The ideal candidate will have a strong portfolio showcasing their skills in label design and an eye for detail. You will work closely with our team to ensure that the labels align with our brand identity and effectively communicate our product information. If you have experience in creating labels for various industries and can deliver high-quality designs on time, we would love to hear from you!

One of the biggest weaknesses of the AI Robot Artist is the ability to put pieces it creates together into a cohesive and masterfully composed full illustration.

Although it may help with the pieces, the AI Art Robot simply cannot put together an integrated composition like these shown here.

Advanced layout done in Photoshop by CartoonBob... not done by the limited AI robot. If you tried using prompts to advance this layout as shown, you'd be blue in the face while still trying.

Note: I developed EACH of those panther characters independently, with several refinements, before placing them in this master, NON AI composition. Numerous additional changes and uipdates requested by client as they reviewed the last proof. Note the change to the 'Vertical ERP' panther on the right. Also darker water with more texture. Almost done, and ready for printing and framing to go on their wall for this year. (I've done several of these over the years.)
